Agentic Engineering Manager
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Supervisory Responsibilities
- Manage 1-2 scrum teams of Software Engineers building the Agent SDK, RAG pipeline, code execution sandbox, evaluations, and observability.
- Set the bar for how your engineers write agent specifications, delegate execution to AI coding agents, and verify agent-produced output, calibrated to the risk and blast radius of platform-level code
- Coordinate engineers steering multiple agents in parallel across concurrent platform workstreams, keeping engineering judgment and ownership intact
- Own the scaffolding your team and its downstream consumers delegate through: SDK conventions, agent instructions, evaluation harnesses, and playbooks, and decide which are worth investing in
Duties/Responsibilities
- Partner with the teams building on your platform to understand their needs and shape the SDK's roadmap, APIs, and guardrails
- Demonstrate leadership and patience through regular coaching and mentoring on agentic craft, in individual and team settings
- Consult with Product Management, UX Designers and Tech Leads to explore and deliver software solutions
- Manage and maintain your team's execution roadmap, including a grooming pipeline and delivery expectations
- Show and maintain accountability in team and individual performance (yours and others) in sprint goals and quarterly Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
- Participate in department hiring efforts
- Contribute to the ongoing improvement of our systems and processes
- Be a great culture addition and advocate for our company values
What You Need to Get the Job Done
10+ years of experience in software development
2+ years of real-world, demonstrable technical leadership
Object-Oriented development experience
Experience building or operating platform-level engineering teams — internal SDKs, developer platforms, or infrastructure that other teams build on
Experience managing or working alongside engineers who use AI coding agents as the default way to build production software
Proficiency in context engineering practices: structuring repo and task context, and setting standards for agent specifications, so agents execute reliably across teams
Familiarity with core AI agent infrastructure concepts such as RAG, sandboxed code execution, evaluation frameworks, and observability
Experience in developing Software as a Service
Version control software, preferably Git
Proficiency in documenting processes and monitoring performance metrics
Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills
What Will Make Us REALLY Love You
Hands-on experience with LLM tooling: RAG pipelines, vector databases, sandboxed/isolated code execution environments, or agent evaluation and observability tooling (e.g., tracing, prompt/response logging, eval harnesses)
Experience setting verification and security standards for agent-produced code: injection, data-handling, and unsafe generated output
Knowledge of best practices related to data storage and access at high volume
MySQL/MSSQL - both query language and database structure/design
